Very Well-Made

Posted on:September 9th, 2013by Christian Duhon

Many people complain about the battery life of the iPhone 5, and I must agree that it is not the best. However, the iPhone charges extremely fast, and I have never had a problem with the phone lasting me all day long. Even if I choose to use my phone until the battery is almost dead, I can plug it in for around 30 minutes and it would be almost, if not, completely charged. The display is beautiful, and the perfect size. It is a beautiful device that has a timeless look and is made of quality materials that you don't find in many other devices.

Has it all

Posted on:September 3rd, 2013by Antonio Rocco Russo

I'm a phone junkie. I admit it, i've had them all but I always seem to come back to the iPhone. Not because its so easy to use. Not because of the amazing apps, awesome screen but because the phone just works when I want it. No freezing up. No lockups. Nada! It just works and I can count on it. So it does not have a huge screen, at 4 inches however it's plenty enough to view everything with ease. I love this phone. If your looking for a phone that does it all then don't waste your time looking at others...go the the iPhone.
